31 points in 14 free throws! Alexander has mastered his foul skills, McDann has 6 fouls in 24 minutes, Finch: Depressed

On May 21, many fans probably watched the game between the Thunder and the Timberwolves. In the first half, the Timberwolves were still 4 points ahead, but the situation suddenly changed at the end of the third quarter. The Thunder relied on the outstanding performance of all the players and established a lead. Then, they completely defeated their opponents in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 114-88 and achieved a good start in the first game of the series. In this game, Edwards scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, and Randle scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.

Alexander was indispensable for the Thunder to reverse in the second half. In the first half, Alexander performed very badly, with a total of 2 of 13 shots and scored 11 points. However, Alexander made a good adjustment in the second half. In the end, he made 10 of 27 shots in the game, 0 of 4 three-pointers, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals. Just look at the efficiency, Alexander's performance was not very good? Why did he get so many points?

The reason is that Alexander made too many fouls. He made 12 fouls in the whole game, and made 11 free throws in total. He scored 11 points with 14 free throws. Because of his frequent fouls, Edwards was also defeated and threw the ball directly on Alexander during the game, so he ate a T. He also rode on Alexander during the position and also ate a foul. However, Edwards did not face Alexander the most fouls in this game.

Medan is a player who is defending Alexander. In this game, he was also fouled and had no choice. He made 3 of 5 shots, scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. He committed 6 off the court after only 23 minutes and 40 seconds. Seeing Alexander's crazy foul in this game, the US media also began to joke about this. The famous reporter Kevin O'Connor even further stated during the game: Alexander did make some fake falls and cheated fouls, and the referee should not be so indulged, but the problem is that the whole Timberwolves, including Edwards, has not hit the basket much.

Celtics said: The physical confrontation in this playoffs may be the strongest in many years, but Alexander's whistle scale is completely different. These two things are opposite at the same time. Think about the Knicks and the Pistons series, as well as the Celtics and the Magic series, how did he blew up these fouls? The Clippers' reporter said: Alexander is indeed talented, but he is also a bastard who cheats and fouls hahaha.

To be honest, Alexander did have many whistles in this game, and whoever guarded him was irritated. After today's game, Edwards and Randall picked up the statistics table and showed it to Randall. They smiled knowingly. I don't know what they laughed at, but it can easily remind people of what Huazi might refer to. Alexander's free throws. Although the outside world sneered at Alexander's style of play, the Thunder supported him to do so.

The Thunder's team reporter said: Alexander's unbalanced 2+1 shots in the game were the result of his offseason training, which was tailored to his style of play, especially in imbalanced shooting. Love says that Alexander's 2+1 falls are the scoring skills he practiced hard in the playoffs. Just like Harden's foul-making style, they are all developed skills and have stuck to the bug.

Alexander's father also talked about Alexander's style of playing on Arenas's program. He said: fouls are also a kind of ability, and Kobe and Iverson have also done it. Thunder coach Dagenut also talked about Alexander's style of play in an interview. He said: Alexander will not change his style of play. He only focuses on playing every round in front of him, nor will he change his mentality. He showed this to the fullest tonight, and he became the absolute master of the situation in the battle.

Former Nuggets coach Malone also turned against Alexander today. Today he served as an ESPN commentator to explain the game. He talked about Alexander after the game, and said: This game shows why Alexander is the MVP of this season. You should know that he said in March that Jokic was the MVP of this season, but after being cut, he also turned against him and began to praise Alexander. After the game, Timberwolves coach Fincher talked about Alexander's performance, saying: Our players are frustrated that Alexander frequently gets whistles. Finch was dissatisfied with the regular season, but Alexander had too many whistles and said that Alexander could not touch it. He then talked about the team's performance. He said: We took a few fouls at the beginning, and I think this made our defense softer than we should. We did create good shooting opportunities, but failed to make it.

The reason for the Timberwolves' loss in this game was not only Alexander's strength. In this game, the Thunder team made 11 of 21 three-pointers, and their squat defense was targeted by the opponent. This is the problem that the Timberwolves need to solve in the next series.
